    Softriders - Seat top bag

    I note a lot of owners are mentioning that there's no where to hang/bolt/store 'stuff.' For a long time I've used a seat top bags on 3 recumbents - the bags will pretty much fit any seat. For hydration I have a tube and nipple. I've drilled a PET cap for the hose and the bottle of whatever...

    I'm swamped and I need something quick and dirty. I'm busting my arse trying to get ready to leave for a few weeks to visit my sister and it seems like every tiny little iron I see in a match flame seems to be attached to a double size I-beam stuck in the sun.

    Choosing a bike trainer

    1500 miles

    I just surpassed 1500 miles on my two Silvios. I have 1121 on my first one (may she RIP) and after today have 391 miles showing on Silvio II. I probably have easily 1500 on my conversion, as well. Conservatively, I would say. I don't have a computer it, so I can't say for sure. It's been a...

    Skewer Rod Change

    Hello... in the vain of 'fool proofing' the bike, I have managed to strip out the skewer rod on the bike while attempting to attach the bike trailer part that hooks onto the rear axle. So... now that I'm in for a new skewer, I was wondering what it would take to change the size of said Skewer...
